Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᨛ has the Unicode code point U+1A1B. In UTF-8, it is encoded using 3 bytes because its codepoint is in the range of
0x0800
to0xffff
.
Therefore we know that the UTF-8 encoding will be done over 16 bits within the final 24 bits and that it will have the format:1110xxxx 10xxxxxx 10xxxxxx
Where thex
are the payload bits.UTF-8 Encoding bit layout by codepoint range Codepoint Range Bytes Bit pattern Payload length U+0000 - U+007F 1 0xxxxxxx 7 bits U+0080 - U+07FF 2 110xxxxx 10xxxxxx 11 bits U+0800 - U+FFFF 3 1110xxxx 10xxxxxx 10xxxxxx 16 bits U+10000 - U+10FFFF 4 11110xxx 10xxxxxx 10xxxxxx 10xxxxxx 21 bits Step 2: Obtain the payload bits:
Convert the hexadecimal code point U+1A1B to binary:
00011010 00011011
. Those are the payload bits.Step 3: Fill in the bits to match the bit pattern:
Obtain the final bytes by arranging the paylod bits to match the bit layout:
11100001 10101000 10011011

Description
U+1A1B, known as the Buginese Vowel Sign AE, is a typographical character used in the Buginese script, which belongs to the Austronesian family of languages. Its primary role is to represent the "ae" vowel combination in digital text, serving as a diacritic that modifies the pronunciation and meaning of preceding consonants in Buginese language texts. The character holds significant cultural and linguistic importance, as it is essential for accurate transcription and representation of the unique phonetic properties of the Buginese language. In digital communications and media, U+1A1B facilitates correct rendering and interpretation of text by adhering to Unicode standards, promoting accuracy and preservation of linguistic identity in global digital communication.
